First Mooney Solo

[urbanti]

Accomplished a longstanding dream of mine by completing transition and soloing a Mooney M20E with manual gear.

Even after 1,000 hours and almost 300 high performance retract hours, the Mooney is refreshingly challenging, and economical!

Thanks to many of you who have answered noob questions, and thanks in advance as I'm sure I'll have a lot more.

I used to think Alan was unique...!

Now he's just another guy with a V tail and an E(sort of?)

Keep the questions coming, Tim.

Best regards,

Wait until you fly one for 23 years. It never wears off.

Congrats Tim!   You'll be amazed after two hours of flying topping off with about 15-16 gallons.

I love my E model. As Bill Wheat Mooney Guru says, "The E model is the most fun to fly...it is spry!"  I second the motion on speed control in the pattern.  Our Ovation is a great airplane. But I love love love the E model.  Welcome to the Mooney Family.
